Snow!

Finally we are getting a bit of snow. It isn't much but at least it's covering the ground. Now if we could just keep the rain away and the freezing temps until Christmas we could have a white Christmas. Most of my childhood memories of Christmas are of going sledding with our friends after lunch. There was always plenty of snow to get outside and play in. I feel sad for kids now cause it's no fun to go outside in the cold rain.

I will be finishing up my Christmas wrapping today. I may get a chance to bake something too. I just haven't had any energy at all lately. I can fall asleep sitting up now and that means I'm exhausted though from what I'm not sure. Hopefully tomorrow I'll have a bit more energy. Right now all I want for Christmas is some energy to enjoy it. I'm just not feeling any Christmas spirit this year. I'm not grumpy but this total lack of energy is making it hard to enjoy anything.

The buying, the wrapping, the decorating the baking, that's what makes Christmas so much fun and when you don't have any energy to do those things Christmas kind of sucks. I'm going to try to be grateful for our snow and hope I get a few spurts of energy before everything is over.

There is a huge difference between being frugal and not being able to afford things. I am both. I do all the usual things to save money because I think it's important for the environment. I'd do those things even if I had tons of money.

But there are days when beings poor really blows, like today. We used to have a basic cable package. It wasn't really expensive but we decided to cut it because it wasn't worth the money. Instead we decided to invest in Netflix. For only $8 a month you can watch a bunch of older movies. For those of you in the US you get many more movies than we do in Canada. Actually the service kinda sucks in Canada but they just started to offer their service in Canada so I'm hoping things will improve. I'm getting rather sick of all the crap movies they offer, but in comparison we didn't get anything better on cable.

Tonight I was looking forward to watching a British Comedy I'd found. I sit down all comfy with my blanket …

This year I am trying to read more. I used to read lots of books but not so much anymore. I have a ton of books I must get to reading just so I can get them out of my house as they are starting to take over my living room shelves. I just started this goal last month and so far have read four books.

I read "Gone Feral" by Novella Carpenter. It wasn't too bad but I've read one of her books already so I knew I'd like it. It's about her quest to connect with her father.

The second one I read was "in a Dark, Dark Wood" by Ruth Ware. It's a horror/ mystery book and wasn't too bad. It jumped back and forth in time which always confuses me so not my fave writing style but was a clever story that had you guessing right till the end.

The third book was "The Witches of New York" by Ami McKay. It was set in the early 1900's (I think, don't quote me on that) and didn't have the strongest story line but I liked it. These tw…

I love Halloween and all the fun surrounding it. But today I was watching TV and noticed that Unicef was advertising about collecting during Halloween. Now I'm not against giving to charity at all and I'm sure Unicef does wonderful things for people in need I'm against making Halloween about giving to charity. Can't we just have one holiday where it's about the actual holiday? Do we have to piggyback a charity with every holiday? I don't know about you but I'm already giving out free candy at Halloween and I resent having to feel like I "have" to give to Unicef too. If I wanted to give to Unicef I can do it at any time of year. Why don't they make their own Unicef holiday instead of stealing Halloween from the kids?

I know this may seem like a petty beef but it's what I've been thinking about and quite frankly it's bugging me. Our school hands the boxes out to all the kids and although it isn't mandatory to collect for Unicef it…
